ABS-CBN News

MANILA – Actress Eugene Domingo on Wednesday finally broke her silence and explained why she got emotional during the press conference of her independent movie “Barber’s Tale” which is set to open in theaters next week.

Speaking to ABS-CBN News’ MJ Felipe, Domingo said she was not able to stop her tears because she can’t help but wonder why some independent films which are internationally recognized get "lukewarm" support when they are shown in the Philippines.

Set in the early 1970s at the onset of martial law, “Barber’s Tale” centers on Marilou (Domingo) as she struggles to keep her late husband's barber shop running. But after gaining the trust of other women in her community, Marilou's life takes an unexpected turn.
